Lot 528
Capped Bust Half Dollar. 1824, O-117, R-1. PCGS graded MS-65 Premium Quality. Delicate blue and gold tones over copious luster on this gem. The toning is complete and well organized, and spans both the obverse and reverse in appealing circles. Fully struck by the dies, each star is sharp to the center, and the curls on Liberty show minute separation imparted by the dies. Similar on the reverse, where the eagle's feathers are exceptionally sharp. Apparently an early die state, and likely tied for one of the very finest known of the variety. As to the PCGS population report, it shows 9 graded as MS-65 and just 3 higher, all MS-66 (PCGS # 6137) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
